Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Null security space is full of oddly named systems like WY-99L, GA-P6C, Poitot, 9KOE-A etc... Who, on earth, must remember all those random numbers or letters...

1. Every sunday at 23:55 CONCORD will select one system in null regions, that will be renamed. Selection will be based on amount of ISK, that sov. holder lost to not blue entities in PvP engagements during the week.
2. Soverenity holder, who will still hold the sov at 23:55 next sunday, can set new name for that system. Name can be from 4 to 8 latin letters, no numbers. Must be unique and not offending in any of 6 Eve languages.
3. Already named systems or systems without soverenity will not participate in selection. Region, and it's surrrending regions, can participate in selection only once per 2 months.

You want your name in eve history forever? Hold the sov till the end of the week and now your part of sandbox will be with us till the end of the game. I am sure for many players that would be motivation for actions like world war bee, but short and brutal.

Thats why I suggested

"****" counts as number, so - illegal.

Ok, since high/low sec systems names means nothing (with very few exceptions), we can put same restrictions here. It must be one word, that will mean nothing in main EvE languages (even if parsed into parts, so the word "Iansucks***" will not qualify because of "sucks" and stars )

We can also ask CSM to qualify the name plus the event can be done every month, not every week.

The whole idea is to give ppl more reason to go into action. Also to let them leave the foot print in the universe, not only in its history.

All of these system names already mean things to the people who live (or used to live) in them. To the people who fought in them, who lost a laughable amount of titans in them.

Why do you want to erase our history, just so we can name a system 'OPSUX' or 'BUTTES'?

No. No, no a thousand times no. You want to name something, plop down an outpost* and put your name on that.

*At least until they turn that off in December. Then you'll have to settle for a citadel.

There is already a system called OhSh!t in Curse, only one jump from Lucasgate. Easiest way to get there and pay a visit would be to travel from Dragorin to Draciste, then proceed to (but steer clear of) Ouchbubble Central.

When you reach Ruddger's Salt Peak you've traveled too far.

...still a big fat NOPE for the proposition though ;-)

I agree with keeping the existing system names.

If any null-sec systems get renamed, it should be in CCP's total control and only after something really significant happened. For example, I remember there was some discussion about renaming BR5 to something like Titan's End after the battle.
